Eyjafjallajökull

Thanks much, I appreciate your assistance in what was a tongue twister.

No prob. After first seeing the name of that volcano in the press, I just had to track down the pronunciation. It was driving me nuts.

Separating the name into syllables helps a bit, too:

Ey jaf jalla jökull

(Eye Yaff Yalla Yokull)
